Weekly Review
This is the most important takeaway from Getting-Things-Done in my opinion. While doing things is all very well, you need some reflection and quite to ensure you are focusing on the right areas. That is where the weekly review comes in.
I look back at what I’ve done, then plan the week ahead. I try to ask myself some Questions-for-Self-Reflection to steer myself right, and look at the week through different filters, like work or health.
I tend to focus on immediate actions or errands to be done in the upcoming week, leaving the projects and reflection on where I’m going to the Monthly-Review.
